extent. As mentioned before, several assessmenttools have been identified such as classwork/homework, quizzes/exams and projects.Sincere attempt is made to refer to the CLOs while designing the contents of theassessment tools used. For example, each exam question clearly stated the concept beingtested in that question, and to what extent that question addresses the CLO(s) and how itmaps the PO(s). Students were informed where this information will be used. The statedCLO(s) is/are assumed to be satisfied based on their achieving a certain grade on thatquestion. This is repeated for all assessment tools used in this course, particularly for thefinal project, in which the students used math and CAE tools to a great extent. At first, itlooks like

important results within the framework it is necessary tocontinue to build a comprehensive set of assessments which can be used to facilitateunderstanding of the role that variability plays in capstone courses. As the field ofengineering education strives to understand capstone programs, it is important to continueto address the innate challenges associated with assessing such a complex class.Bibliography 1.

students. Forexample, at NU, an ‘electronic library’ has been set up whereby faculty members can shareresources, presentation materials, examples, learning exercises, and other instructional materials.Materials are tagged according to the program and/or course learning outcome(s) they support,so that other faculty searching for ways to assist student learning in specific outcomes canreadily find additional ideas and resources. And since many courses have also been developedfor on-line presentation (10 of the program in SOET are also available on-line), it is possible forfaculty members to also take advantage of the on-line course materials and classroommanagement tools even when teaching on-site.

the Plus3 program is to encourage students to continue to study foreignlanguage(s) after completing the Plus3 program. The results indicate that 22% of the engineering studentsand 56% of the business students continued foreign language study after participation in the Plus3 program,with Spanish being the most common language studied. The difference is statistically significant [X2(1, N =101) = 10.00, p < 0.002], with more business students studying foreign languages after Plus3.International activitiesStill another goal of the Plus3 program is to get students interested in participating in international activitiesboth during college and after graduation.

College of Technology(CoT) at Purdue University grew from a craft-oriented, non-degree program that was initiated in1946 to re-train the returning GI's. The nature of this program slowly shifted from post-war, non-academic teaching of construction craft skills to academic teaching of drafting and surveyingskills through the 1950s.6 It now is considered one of the leading programs for producingconstruction managers educated with a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. It was first accreditedby the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) in 1976 and has passed allaccreditation visits since that date. With the undergraduate degree being the basis for thedepartment, graduate course have been introduced since the 1990’s to follow the needs of
learned. We found that thepersonalized advising service is crucial for the success of the program and identified specificadjustments that community college instructor and students need to make when they come to a four-year university.1.
